"I've asked Greg a couple of times about his insistence on arguing his faith as though it were logical or scientific." "Faith is totally alien to me" Unless you have total understanding of every process involved when you click your computer on you have the exact same faith as Greg McRitchie. Try to be less condescending, you don't have the all the answers either. Greg never said he was Christ's rep here on earth but simply arguing from a personal perspective, just like you. We're all in the same boat together, like it or not.

Even baseball with a frying pan might work... at least you'd have a chance of hitting and connecting. The tools and frame of reference are just contradictory... I like these analogies: Trying to play baseball on a tennis court? Trying to play baseball with a shuttlecock? Trying to play baseball with a song?

I've asked Greg a couple of times about his insistence on arguing his faith as though it were logical or scientific. Karen, religious faith can be logical (although I suspect for most people it is not, and for that matter lack of faith is probably often more an intuitive feeling or based on other non-logical reasons rather then a highly developed set of logical arguments), it is not however scientific, (and if it was, if there was scientific evidence for the existance of God then would it still even be called faith?)
